Participating in social networking has opened up a whole world to me and lets me find the coolest toys like Twitter. It was while wandering there that I came across the folks from Email our Military.
I don’t know how many of you remember when Dear Abby used to organize an annual mail drive to get letters to troops, but that program, along with the ability to address mail to “Any Service Person”, stopped in 2001. Since then, Email Our Military has stepped in to fill the gap.
From the website:
How It Works
Using eMail, eMOM provides a safe way for people to continue the tradition of “Any Service Member” mail with a much more personal touch. Service Members register with us for support and are matched with civilians who have registered to send and show their support to our troops.
With the holidays fast approaching, I can’t think of a better time to stay in touch with our troops who are so far away from home, friends and family and would appreciate the support from the people they are protecting on a daily basis. The website has suggestions for gifts, cards, and fun, easy classroom projects for kids and scouting groups to create.
Please take a few minutes to visit the site and Email our Military – you’ll be glad you did. You can follow along and get updates on Twitter as well: @mailourmilitary.
Need a little push? This video says it all…
